Choosing a chain saw
A Chain saw should last you for a good many years if you
by a high quality machine in the first place, and look after
it. The chain saw should also be right for the tasks you
will ask of it during its lifetime of tree felling and tree
surgery. Its not only tree surgeons that need chain saws.
For light gardening
use select a chain saw that is small and light. Husqvarna
have a good range. It will prove much easier to use for
branch cutting or tree felling. The guide bar; this is
the grooved elliptical bar around which the chain runs,
need not be longer than 18 inches. The larger chain saws
are really intended for professional tree or forestry
work. Don't be confused because manufacturers such as
Husqvarna cater for both markets.
A smaller bar
chain saw is much more maneuverable and less likely to
get its nose (the end of the chain saw) caught up whilst
in use, and dirty in the ground. Don't forget not all
chain saw use will be straight forward tree felling. Removal
of awkward branches, tree felling in awkward positions
and other difficult situations make smaller chain saws
an advantage for amateur tree surgery.
For home tree
surgery there will be a choice of an electric chain saw
of a petrol chain saw. The major disadvantage of and electric
chain saw is, of course the cable that will follow you
around. The Petrol chain saw does not have this disadvantage,
and depending on the model will probably deliver more
power. Husqvarna produce high quality professional chain
saws for tree surgeons. The lower end of the Husqvarna
range are also suitable for the home garden or small scale
tree felling.
Whilst choosing
your chain saw, you should also remember that a shorter
bar has to drives the chain a shorter distance. The chains
saw will therefore have increased power. Most reputable
brands produce a wide of chain saw length, But Husqvarna
ranges from 13 inch to 28inch.
The size of chain
saw you choice should be determined by the work you intend
it to do. Husqvanra have a reputation for producing good
quality chain saws, and this applies equally to a top
of the range chain saw intended for daily tree felling
use by tree surgeons, as well as smaller chain saws for
the home garden. Many for the features and certainly the
high quality parts that Husqvarna uses in the chain saws
intended for tree surgeons, and utilized in other Husqvarna
models.
